TRUTH A Poem by Winlade Isreal


Truth the great! 
Divine messenger of freedom 
Sent to hook the oppressors 
To free the oppressed.

Divine messenger of freedom 
Dwelling in the heart of men 
To free the oppressed, 
With a burning tongue of courage

Dwelling in the heart of men, 
An arch enemy of lies. 
With a burning tongue of courage,
Truth wages war against lies.

An arch enemy of lies 
Standing gallantly against her offspring. 
Truth wages war against lies, 
Even as they try to expel her.

Standing gallantly against her offspring 
With  a tongue of courage 
Even as they try to expel her, 
Truth stands immortal.

With a tongue of courage 
Can truth be made known. 
Truth stands immortal,
Death has no power over her.


Can truth be made known 
In the dungeon of fear? 
Death has no power over her, 
For she is a taboo to hades.

In the dungeon of fear 
Many deny her. 
For she's a taboo to hades, 
She reigns forever.

Many deny her 
Considering their bellies. 
She reigns forever 
For this am I joyous.

Considering their bellies
They become slaves unto lies. 
For this am I joyous 
For lies shall soon tear their bellies apart.

They become slaves unto lies 
Sent to hook the oppressors 
For lies shall soon tear their bellies apart, 
Truth the great!

FOR MY LOVE - By Abdulwaheed Olaniyi

I have dived in the mystic ages of your heart, Dreamed  in the silent heart of the night, Envisaged our union Through the binocular rainbow of your eyes. Ayo, I looked through the eyes of the sky, gazing at your rainbow from afar, I lingered to touch the sky, but the cloud held my eyes to hug your heart. If cloud seals my eyes to see your face, My heart echoes the sonorous song of my lines to you And my mind's eyes can view your beauty. Let my love continue to breathe in the gentle shore of your heart. © Abdulwaheed Olaniyi 2019
